Jeremy Clarkson "favourite to succeed George Ferguson" as Bristol Mayor

TV presenter Jeremy Clarkson would be Bristol residents' favourite choice to succeed George Ferguson as mayor, according to a new survey.

According to the lighthearted survey - released by the makers of computer game SimCity - Bristol citizens fancy Jeremy Clarkson as the man for the job with Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton, David Beckham, Bradley Wiggins and even One Direction member Harry Styles snapping at his heels.

The survey asked how residents of Bristol would take control of their city.

In light of recent retail closures 85 per cent of Bristol’s residents asked felt the lack of independent shops on their high street was the biggest problem in their city and wanted to focus on regenerating their high street.

Results showed that 70 per cent of Bristol’s residents asked would welcome a congestion charge to address the retail issue.

The survey also revealed 72 per cent of residents surveyed voted to introduce Stonehenge to the city, favouring the landmark over other structures such as The Eiffel Tower or Empire State building.

God what utter drivel. Why is this even being reported - has The Post done a deal with the creators of Sim City?
Most of it doesn't even make any sense.
Mind you, I did have a giggle at: '70 per cent of Bristol's residents asked would welcome a congestion charge'.
Yes, of course we would. No, really.

@Big Greg - Nah he's an Isle of Man resident. Manx? Eitherway he's getting paid a lot and contributing vilch.
Clarkson the petrolhead king of Bristol - city of congestion. No more ridiculous than Ferguson's mandate to power.

Sorry, what does that even mean?
